Everyone refers to my M114 as a tank, I corrected them the first two or
three hundred times but I gave up. Seems if it is green and has tracks its a
tank, I wonder if I painted it yellow they would think it's a bulldozer.

Well, once you get all of them settled would you mind telling all the
people I know that the Weasel is *not* a "tank" or "APC"? Apparently I
don't have the magic touch since when I correct them it tends to go in
one ear and out the other :-) Next thing I know, I am back to owning a
bunch of tanks and APCs (I WISH!) :-)
